Pat Conroy, Best-selling Author Promotes First New Novel in 13 Years

South of Broad (Washington Post) Pat Conroy, the New York Times best-selling author and Atlanta resident, has been promoting his first new novel in 13 years called "South of Broad."

The Washington Post reviewed the novel:
I should note that even though I felt stage-managed by Conroy's heavy hand, I still turned the pages with relish. Conroy is an immensely gifted stylist, and there are passages in the novel that are lush and beautiful and precise. No one can describe a tide or a sunset with his lyricism and exactitude. My sense is that the millions of readers who cherish Conroy's work won't be at all disappointed -- and nor will anyone who owns stock in Kleenex.
